Woodford County Detention Center Overview

Woodford County Detention Center is the only detention facility found in official source checks for Woodford County. It is operated through the Woodford County Jailer and Woodford County Fiscal Court. The official county page names Michele Rankin as Jailer and explains that the jailer carries out the county's duty to provide incarceration for people arrested, sentenced, or held by order of Woodford County District and Circuit Courts.

The facility is a county jail, not a state prison. It can hold pretrial inmates, local sentenced inmates, people held by court order, and population groups tracked by KDOC in weekly jail reports. The current state reporting framework separates Woodford into a secure jail row and a Woodford JRC row. JRC is Jail Restricted Custody, a community or minimum-custody section.

The official county detention-center page is captured from Woodford County government.

That county page is the public doorway for the jail's address, phone, hours, and inmate-list link.

Woodford Detention Center Population

The latest inspected KDOC weekly jail report, dated June 4, 2026, listed the secure Woodford jail row with 63 beds and 75 reported inmates. The same report listed Woodford JRC with 32 beds and 24 reported inmates. Together, those rows equal 95 beds and 99 people, but the secure section was over capacity while JRC had open beds.

Woodford Detention Center Roster

The correct online lookup for this county jail is the Woodford County JailTracker roster. It is linked from the official county detention page. Use it for current jail custody at Woodford County Detention Center. Use KOOL for sentenced Kentucky state offenders and the BOP or ICE locator for federal or immigration custody.

1. Open the county detention-center page and choose the inmate-list link.
2. Search JailTracker by last name and first name when the app loads.
3. Complete any captcha prompt that appears.
4. Review the profile for booking date, charges, bond fields, court data, holds, and release fields.
5. Call 859-873-3196 if the roster does not load, the arrest is very recent, or a hold must be confirmed.

The official roster can provide a custody lead, but bond posting and court-file copies route to the Circuit Clerk rather than the roster. The Woodford County jail records page gives more detail about the Woodford County inmate records search path.

Woodford Detention Center Contact

The county-listed public contact information should be used before traveling, sending mail, or trying to post bond. The county page tells the public to contact the Detention Center directly for visitation, allowed items, and similar facility-specific rules. Some jail website topic pages did not load in the text fetch, so current schedule and vendor questions should be confirmed by phone.

Visit Woodford County Inmates

The official visitation page did not load in the text fetch, but the official search result confirmed that inmates are allowed up to 40 minutes of visitation per week and may receive two visits. A day-by-day visit schedule, ID rule, dress code, minor rule, video-visit detail, and attorney-visit rule were not located in accessible official text. Call the jail before arriving.

Mail Phone and Commissary

Woodford's detention-center site has pages for inmate mail, email, phone, commissary, bond information, programs, visitation, PREA, and state inmates. Several direct page fetches reset during research, so only confirmed details should be used. The official mail search result gives a standard non-legal mailing format. Commissary and phone pages confirm services exist, but the research did not capture vendor names, deposit limits, or fees.

Woodford Detention Center Booking

Official Woodford pages do not publish a full intake checklist, but the roster model and county facility description support the basic process. A person arrested in Woodford County is normally transported to Woodford County Detention Center unless another agency or medical issue routes the person elsewhere. Staff create a booking record, identify the person, record property, screen health needs, classify custody, and add charge or bond data as available.

JailTracker supports original booking date, release date, image fields, arresting agency, charge description, court data, bond type, bond amount, warrant number, holds, sentence, status, and last-updated fields. New booking data may not appear instantly. If an arrest is recent, call the jail instead of assuming the person is not in custody.

The booking record is also not the full court record. After booking, Woodford County District or Circuit Court activity is handled through Kentucky Court of Justice systems and the Circuit Clerk. Bond information may appear in JailTracker, but the official Woodford bond page search result routes bond posting to the Circuit Clerk at the Courthouse Annex.

Woodford Jail Programs

The official detention-center navigation includes local program pages for Inmate Programs, State Inmates, Garden Project, Roadside Trash Pickup, Volunteers, Family Resources, and PREA. Search results confirm two local details: the Garden Project reduces food costs and provides fresh food, and the Roadside Trash Pickup road crew consists of a deputy jailer and inmates. These details are specific to Woodford County Detention Center and should not be replaced with generic jail programming claims.

The PREA page result states that the Prison Rape Elimination Act is part of the jail's duty to serve and protect inmate well-being while people are housed there. A PREA reporting number, 1-800-700-7732, appeared in search results. Jail standards and conditions are also governed by KRS 441.055 and related administrative rules.

Directions and visitor planning should stay practical. Official sources did not publish visitor parking rules, public transit details, or an ADA entrance description. The safe route is to call the jail before a visit, confirm the person's custody and visit eligibility, then verify entry and parking instructions for the Beasley Drive facility.
